Heal YourselfBy: Laya Sarath

The self within you is perturbed Rusty, Dusty, unclear and broken Ruptured spirit you carry within It needs to be healed… Healed from within your spirit The soul needs to be nourished With good deeds and thoughts The soul within must be rejuvenated Neatly cleaned and polished so to Flow positive energy through body… Cleanse the spirit, awaken yourself Embrace solitude Solitude I say is very powerful To know the being within you

Some days you are more powerful Than anyone around you.. Your company to self has stronger And greater impact in life… You would feel more relaxed And determined on your own… And that’s the time you realize How strong and better you are On your own…For some reasons, you are strongerThan anyone today, And this must go on

Heal Yourself; Live Yourself
